Distrust

(Flashback)
A few months ago...

"Niruha, this is unfair! All my life, since I was a child until I was half a century old, I worked hard in that land. Why do you now give part of my land to others, who are not even Arthdal ​​natives!" Protest a man.

"From the beginning, Plain of the Moon was not your land, but the property of the state. The late Sanung Niruha was the owner, the results of which were distributed equally to all the people. Why are you protesting what is not your right?" Said the King.

"I have obtained an official certificate of ownership from Taealha Niruha! That land is mine!"

Saya snorted furiously to hear that person mention the name of the former ruler, "Guards, drag him out!"

He continued reading several scrolls, reports on the development of villages in Iark and Ago from each village head, one of them are Dalsae and Ipsaeng. Then, a servant rushed to him.

"Niruha, Tanya Niruha slipped in the bedroom."

Saya immediately left the throne to go to bedroom. Chaeeun was treating a bruise on Tanya's jaw.

"What happened? Why did you slip? Who mopped this room?"

A servant knelt to beg for forgiveness.

"Whip her a hundred times!" Saya ordered with anger.

"Saya Niruha, never mind. I'm fine. I'm the one who is not careful. How could you whip someone just because she was mopping wrong?" Said Tanya.

Saya sat on the bedside of Tanya, holding her hand, "I don't like anyone hurting you, intentionally or not."

"But I'm fine."

"Ah, your pretty face turned blue ..." Saya looked at the bruise sadly.

"So I'm ugly now?" Tanya was sullen.

"Yeah, that's why I have to punish her," Saya looked back at the servant sharply.

"Tami, just go. It's okay. You won't be punished," Tanya said.

"Tanya," Saya was about to reprimand him, but Tanya interrupted him.

"The servants are under my control. I have the right to give them punishment."

Taking a deep breath, Saya stroked Tanya's hair, "You are very kind, my queen. You are the perfect companion for me."

In his office, Saya discussed with Hae Gaeun, an agriculture technologist, discussing the development of an agricultural system so that next year their harvests will be more abundant. Even though many people from the Hae Tribe were exiled, Saya let some talented people stay alive, of course after they begged for mercy and swore allegiance to him. One of them is Hae Gaeun, an agricultural technologist, and Hae Alyong, the administrator of the state library.

Tami enters to serve tea. She was still afraid and trembling when she met the King, accidentally the tea she poured spilled on his robe.

"I'm ... I'm sorry, Niruha ..."

"Stand in the corner, don't go anywhere! I will punish you after this," Saya commanded.

After finishing the discussion, Hae Gaeun said goodbye to return to her room. She glanced at the closed door of the king's room.

Gilsun who now serves as the head of city security reported to Saya that the man who protested a few days ago was found to have committed suicide in the forest near the disputed land.
